“Build a piece of furniture which we need on the school
campus of Thomas More.”

In the heart of Thomas More's campus lies an underutilized gem, an awkwardly shaped triangular courtyard begging for purpose. The students yearn for a cozy spot to relax and indulge in a good book, a place that tells a story of sustainability and ingenuity.

Introducing the Corner Chair, a bespoke piece of furniture tailor-made for this unique corner of the campus. Crafted entirely from reclaimed materials, the chair's seat boasts the charm of old wooden floors, while its armrests exude character from a repurposed kitchen block.

The result is a sturdy yet delicate creation that seamlessly adapts to its surroundings. This chair stands as a testament to how shape, materials, and storytelling can merge to craft the perfect piece of furniture. A symbol of eco-conscious design and a comfortable sanctuary for students in need of a little respite, it's a welcome addition to Thomas More's evolving campus."
